I agree. Yes, he should have known better, he isn't in her reporting chain, 2 consenting adults = game on.
She gave no thought to his wife and kids when they were doing the nasty, yet she is now complaining to be the 'victim' in all this.
Disagree. Wing Commander on a Sqn nailing a Cpl is a failure of the service test IMO.
Ultimately it's the same CoC, every Flying Sqn I've ever been on ultimately my CoC ends at teh Wing Commander.
Furthermore as the OC of the Sqn he should have been setting a better leadership example than nailing a JR openly whilst married. It sets the acceptable culture.
Your right to disagree, but the RAF have stated it was a private matter - so they didn't believe it a failure of the Service Test.
What do you think?
Which is quite alarming for a 'bottom fed' organization that relies on climbing through the ranks to achieve management positions.Doesn't matter what i think, them's the rules nowadays.
However, seems as though you asked An officer, should be beyond reproach, integrity and all that, however, those days are gone bar a few. I see it in the officers, i see it in the juniors - work gets in the way of their social life and it's more what can the RAF do for me as oppose to the other way around.
The RAF is seen as more of a job as oppose to a career and the top brass do not hide the fact that they want to see people do a few years then move on. So there is no investment from both the organisation or the people - and it shows.
I have experienced both the separation and integration on FJ Sqns. Jag Sqns in Gioia in the 90s had officers in one hotel, SNCOs in another and JR in another - all in different towns, although I dont think that was of the Sqn's choosing as other dets would see us housed in the same hotel.I find it bizarre that Pilots and groundcrew had different hotels That really makes you feel part of the same "team" NOT.
As Eng in the 80's to early 2000's on normal Sqn's. Jocks and techies always shared the same hotel, and by the end of the night always ended up in bosses room (that doesn't sound very good) But you know what I mean
It won't be long before we're hiring FSs and WOs as DEs because of their management skills as opposed to service/operational experience - by then we may as well be a branch of Tesco.
It has been seriously discussed in recent times.
Do you think that might someone who is licensed?IIRC, they brought in DE Sgt Air Traffic control bods and also DE-straight to FS legal positions in the late 90's so why not in engineering?

Whom would go into RAF engineering from Civvy Street and take a massive pay cut? LAEs for Ryanair and Jet 2 are on 80K basic. Poor regional guys like me are going to be on 65 K.IIRC, they brought in DE Sgt Air Traffic control bods and also DE-straight to FS legal positions in the late 90's so why not in engineering?
Reds story - An affair, a posting, an unhappy wife..
What I was suggesting and with regards to the previous post highlighting that already legally qualified persons slotted into a FS position commensurate with their qualification. I believe the medical related trades do something similar inline with civil quals.Do you mean the DE ATC Sgts recruited? Cus if so they aren't licensed.
Drugs testing not a thing at your place, I take it ?!?Granted as also suggested the pay cut might be hard to take, but it would possibly offer the potential for personal growth.
My point was as suggested by sausage fingers above, was that it might not be long before the RAF recruits DE upper management from the likes of Tesco’s etc. It was their experience level that I was highlighting would be similar to a licensed engineer, but obviously not their wage level.Drugs testing not a thing at your place, I take it ?!?
